£6.00 Home studio only - rehearsal - max 3 people - imaginary props ( not valid for Maiden Place sessions )
£8.00
£6.00
This is an extension to the rehearsals run at Maiden Place.
As it is tricky to book a room at a time that fits everyone, I am adding some dates at my home studio, so that everyone gets a chance to rehearse.
Only valid at Hawkedon Way Home Studio for a small number of people
Rehearsing at my home studio means space limitation and props cannot be used as it would implicate health and safety.
If you sign up for these rehearsal sessions you are aware of space restriction and needing to go over the routines without props.
These sessions cost less than the in studio classes for that reason.
Upcoming dates:
Friday, 28th February 7pm-8pm
Monday, 3rd March 7pm-8pm
Friday, 21st March 7pm-8pm
